Comments/Problems:
Partitioning worked (the daily from 20040723 had gotten into a loop,
apparently running into problems writing the partition table to disk),
and the root filesystem and swap space were created. After that, it
popped up a message telling me that I hadn't left space for aboot and
that it couldn't install it for me (and thus I wouldn't be able to boot
from SRM if I continued). Since the partitioner had explicitly left
space for aboot, some sort of confusion must be afoot.
